On behalf of our clinic hosts and the Alberta Donkey and Mule Club, we are very pleased
and honored to welcome Jerry Tindell back to Canada from California.
Jerry comes from a very diverse background and is able to deal with any problem that you
may be having with your horse, mule or donkey. Experiencing the behavior of horses and
mules throughout his growing years has given Jerry a unique insight into the equine psyche.
Jerry’s ability to transform these early lessons in life with equines has been a major part of
this development today. Jerry’s emphasis targets effective communication and safety. His
experience instructing mounted units has established a successful curriculum for mounted
law enforcement. His many years training, riding and driving mules enhances his
understanding of the mule and enables him to offer top notch guidance to all mule owners
and handlers.
Working with Jerry encourages the equine handler to look for the ‘’try’’ while developing a
‘’feel.’’ Developing a safe, responsive equine and handler relationship is the
Tindell goal. Jerry is dedicated to enhancing the horse, mule, donkey and handler
experience through knowledge and practice, combined with compassion.
